But does the water sound alarm also work on the Apple Watch? If it does, I can’t figure out how to activate it. ### 2/5 — Issue with Tea/other Drinks *2023-03-13, version 1.7.2* Great app, I love it. But when input Tea, instead of loading (Amount Drank - 1 oz), it just inputs 1oz. Not sure how to fix. ### 2/5 — Pay to log? *2023-02-09, version 1.7.2* You have to pay to log soda or common drinks. They also do not allow you to log past water intake unless you pay for the premium. Big scam. ### 3/5 — Not logging correctly *2022-10-20, version 1.6.7* I have 0% for yesterday, 171% the day before and all entries are at 6:37 a.m. Edit: thanks for the update - However I’m still experiencing this issue after the app update. It seems to log correctly when I keep the app running on my phone in the background. But if I have it closed on the phone it doesn’t communicate correctly. ### 4/5 — It is good but so annoying *2022-06-20, version 1.5.6* The most annoying is how they promote upgrade the app, not the ads ### 5/5 — Easy to use but… *2022-03-19, version 1.5.4* Some of the features in the PAID for app don’t work: icon badge, how I want my water intake to show (I want to see how many ounces in bold, not percentage), I changed the cup sizes in settings and it doesn’t show changes in the app. I thought paying for the app I would have all these options but really nothing changed. UPDATE: thank you for your email, your suggestion worked and now the features i mentioned work too!! YAY!! I changed my review to 5 stars ***** I LOVE this app! So easy to use and keeps me on top of my water consumption! Thank You!!! ### 3/5 — Logging from Watch does not sync with app *2022-03-09, version 1.5.4* I absolutely love this app UI. I cannot say the same for the functionality. As a user, I need to be able to log and review water intake quickly and easily from my iphone OR my Apple watch so that I can track my water intake daily. The figure displayed on watch and on iphone app should mirror/sync between the two devices automatically. When logging water from the watch, users can open the app and will find the two figures do not match. This is the deal breaker. I would happily PAY for this app or for the premium version; however, I need this to function properly. I love the user interface and how simply it is to use. I should rate as a 1 star because at the end of the day you need the accuracy to be as close as you can get it; however, I think there’s value in the UI and that once this is fixed, I swear, I am a customer. (Perpetuity model, no subscription). This is the best and easiest system to use. Dev please please please fix the daily reset or syncing problem, please please please. ### 5/5 — Ad-free feature *2022-03-01, version 1.5.4* I requested this feature and got it. Amazing feedback response. Upgraded to the premium ad free version. Previous feedback: Great app, easy to use. But the only problem is too much ads. If there was a one-time purchase kinda thing to buy the app without ads would be great. As it’s storing all the data on the device there shouldn’t be any need for subscription basis upgrade. Just one-time purchase would do the job. ### 3/5 — Great on Apple Watch but… *2021-12-15, version 1.5.3* Love the app on my watch. Easy to use, easy to record and the reminders are helpful without being too intrusive. I would have given 5 stars but for some reason it won’t sync with my iPhone. I’ll have a day with 415% of my goal followed by several days of 0%. Emailed help but no reply at all. ### 4/5 — Notification chime *2021-11-18, version 1.5.3* Its not distinct enough and sometimes I miss it. I will check my phone’s notifications to see if theres something I can do on my end. ### 5/5 — Pretty good app *2021-11-15, version 1.5.3* Very easy to track amount of water I drink everyday. When I use the Apple Watch to add water, it doesn’t give the current time ### 5/5 — Good app *2021-10-24, version 1.5.3* The app really helped me to drink enough water ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Charged during “free trial” *2024-07-22, version 1.7.4* I signed up for the free trial and the moment I did, I’m charged 13.64$ for something I was duped into paying for. When I saw this I immediately cancelled. I WANT A REFUND. ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2024-02-27, version 1.7.4* $40/year to track my water intake? Unskippable ads every 30 seconds? No thanks. ### 1/5 — Bugs, no support *2023-03-28, version 1.7.2* The app doesn’t let you put in a custom amount for non-water drinks (if you try, it just adds 0 oz) unless you navigate to the history page. I reached out to support and they never got back to me. ### 1/5 — Always wants me to buy other apps *2022-09-18, version 1.6.5* I am going to delete the app. I cannot be bothered with all the undesired app advertising.😡🤬😖😤 ### 1/5 — Reminders do not work *2022-06-13, version 1.5.5* Got this app ### 1/5 — not functional *2022-05-06, version 1.5.5* my manual water intake goal was not used (it set as my recommended intake), and i was unable to log any water. no matter how many times i tried it would keep my intake at zero. i’m not interested in trying to troubleshoot for ten minutes immediately after downloading an app, especially when there are hundreds of water tracking apps available, so i will look elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Chris *2022-03-25, version 1.5.5* Very disappointed! I like the app but not the adds. Can’t even X out won’t let me no option. Choosing another app. ### 1/5 — Needs another update *2022-01-24, version 1.5.4* Won’t let me open the app anymore! ### 1/5 — Deleted *2021-02-27, version 1.4* Calculates your water goal incorrectly (about half of what I need). Also, I thought this app, which didn’t have “in app purchases “, would be without all the pop ups. Wrong! Immediately had to sit through an ad. Deleted. ### 1/5 — My critical review was removed *2020-12-07, version 1.3* I had criticized the app for pasting data from the clipboard with out the user’s consent. A new feature in iOS exposes this practice. The developer responded to me that they do not take info from the clipboard. I provided them proof and now my review is missing :-/ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Makes me thirsty! *2025-03-01, version 1.7.4* I’ve tried multiple water trackers and all of them were so complicated. This one is just so simple and works very well. I like that it notifies you to remember to drink water because I would forget to drink before, but now I actually drink more water! Definitely recommend this app to anybody who is into fitness. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-02-12, version 1.7.4* Great app ### 5/5 — Reminder I’m has no sound *2023-01-31, version 1.7.1* Reminder has no sound ### 5/5 — Great water app… *2022-10-19, version 1.6.6* Best app to use… ### 5/5 — Wonderful App! Easy to use! Very healthful! *2022-06-28, version 1.5.8* Thirsty is an amazing App that is incredibly easy as well as handy to use! I love it! It helps hold me accountable. I wish I could integrate with the Ap, My Fitness Pal. Love, love, love this App! ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-06-19, version 1.5.6* This app is very motivating and if you want to stay on top of your water intake I highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Great little app! *2022-06-02, version 1.5.5* I just love this little app. I think my favorite part is the Reminders where it sounds like bubbling water! It helps me to keep track of what I need to drink. You take a little “quiz” to find out how much water you need to drink for your weight. Then you can set reminders which I’ve set for every 2 hours. The perfect little app and it’s free! What more could you want?! ### 5/5 — great app *2022-05-15, version 1.5.5* really like this app i have gotten into the habit of drinking more water and it’s thanks to this! i recommend this to anyone who has a problem with drinking water regularly ❤️✨ ### 5/5 — Great app, minus the privacy concerns *2022-05-10, version 1.5.5* I like the app a lot. Immediately upgraded to the no-ads version. Like the notification sound that encourages hydration. The only thing preventing a 5 stars is the amount of data linked to the user in the privacy section of the App Store description, although I guess this is related to ad support. ### 5/5 — Easy Peasy *2022-03-22, version 1.5.5* After trying probably a dozen apps, I finally found what I wanted in this free version. It calculates how much I should drink, and entering the amounts consumed couldn’t be easier. That’s all I wanted.
